Taylor Lautner: From Werewolf To Superhero?

Heads up, Twi-hards — we might have a werewolf superhero on our hands!

Okay, maybe not a superhero who IS a werewolf — but Taylor Lautner, who plays the werewolf/giant ab muscle Jacob in New Moon, is apparently in talks to play Max Steele.

Who’s that? According to the LA Times, Steele is “a 19-year-old extreme-sports athlete who is accidentally exposed to the unleashed power of nanotechological machines, which become part of him and (in the old show, at least) give him increased strength, near-invulnerability and the ability to change his appearance.”

Additionally, the LA Times reports that Paramount has J.P. Lavin and Chad Damiani — who are also slated to work on Rob Liefeld properties Capeshooters and Youngblood — on board to write the Max Steele script.
